Position Description

Called to Children’s Ministry? Check this out.

We’re looking for an Elementary Director for our grades one to four kids, and you just might be the one! We’re The Meeting Place, a downtown church located in the heart of Winnipeg. And you? You’re a person who senses a God-given calling to a vocation of ministering to kids and their families. You have some experience already and can articulate a philosophy of ministry to children. You love working with teams of people and take joy in recruiting others to serve alongside you. You also love hanging out with kids – that’s real important!

So far, so good, right? 

The Elementary Director is responsible to lead and champion our mission, vision and values in two areas: TMP Kids as a whole and Studio B in particular.

What exactly are those two areas? Glad you asked!

TMP Kids: You’ll work alongside our Early Childhood Director to navigate curriculum, manage a budget, as well as equip and encourage our volunteers. You’ll also become the ‘face’ of TMP Kids - championing it to our larger faith community at different times throughout the year. You’ll also be sure our Safe Place Policies are being implemented in all of our Children’s Ministry environments.

Studio B: This is our grades 1 to 4 room and you’ll oversee this room exclusively. Teams of volunteers include kid leaders, a tech team and a teaching team. You’ll schedule the volunteers and set up each teacher to succeed well. You’ll plan the weekly program, which includes toy rotation and any crafts, games or activities as needed. You’ll also send a monthly email to inform and equip our parents.

One last thing. 

This position is 30 hours a week and offers some flexibility. So that’s it – the ball’s in your court! Please send a cover letter and resume with references to Tami at tduff@themeetingplace.mb.ca. We look forward to the possibility of exploring what contribution you could make to the youngest of our faith community!
